Providing traffic information relating to a prediction of congestion status and using the same
First Claim
1. A method for processing traffic data at a receiver, the method comprising:
- receiving a message structure including traffic data including;
information corresponding to a prediction of an amount of congestion for a particular link and a first identifier which enables a determination that the traffic data relates to the prediction of the amount of congestion for the particular link,information corresponding to a prediction of an average speed for the particular link and a second identifier which enables a determination that the traffic data relates to the prediction of the average speed for the particular link,information corresponding to a current average speed for the particular link and a third identifier which enables a determination that the traffic data relates to the current average speed for the particular link,information corresponding to a current amount of congestion for the particular link and a fourth identifier which enables a determination that the traffic data relates to the current amount of congestion for the particular link,information corresponding to a location associated with the particular link, andinformation corresponding to a message management structure including information corresponding to a generation time of information reflected in the traffic data; and
decoding the traffic data.

Abstract
A method for identifying traffic information includes receiving traffic data including a first identifier, information corresponding to a prediction of an amount of congestion for a particular link, and information corresponding to a location associated with the particular link. The first identifier enables a determination of a type of the information that is included within the received traffic data. The method also includes determining a type of information included within the received traffic data based on the first identifier and determining congestion amount prediction information based on the information included in the received traffic data only if the first identifier enables a determination that the received traffic data includes a prediction related to congestion amount. The method further includes determining location information based on the information that is included in the received traffic data corresponding to the location associated with the particular link identifying traffic information based on the determined congestion amount prediction information and the determined location information.

11. An apparatus for processing traffic data, the apparatus comprising:
-
a receiver configured to receive a message structure including traffic data including; information corresponding to a prediction of an amount of congestion for a particular link and a first identifier which enables a determination that the traffic data relates to the prediction of the amount of congestion for the particular link, information corresponding to a prediction of average speed of the particular link and a second identifier which enables a determination that the traffic data relates to the prediction of the average speed for the particular link, information corresponding to a current average speed of the particular link and a third identifier which enables a determination that the traffic data relates to the current average speed for the particular link, information corresponding to a current amount of congestion for the particular link and a fourth identifier which enables a determination that the traffic data relates to the current amount of congestion for the particular link, information corresponding to a location associated with the particular link, and information corresponding to a message management structure including information corresponding to a generation time of information reflected in the traffic data; and a decoder configured to decode the received traffic data. - View Dependent Claims (12)
